Abstract

The article presents analysis of anti-aircraft and anti-aircraft missile capabilities to combat UAVs. The justification of directions for combating UAVs and defined conceptual approaches to the development of promising anti-aircraft means of combating UAVs, the composition of these means capable of effectively detecting and destroying small-sized UAVs. Based on the results of the research, conclusions were drawn and some directions of combating unmanned aerial vehicles were determined.

With the help of UAVs on the battle field, a large number of tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, artillery systems and other military equipment and weapons worth millions of dollars are destroyed, while the cost of UAVs does not exceed several thousand dollars. The massive and effective use of UAVs in military conflict zone in Eastern Ukraine, Syria, Nagorno-Karabakh and other regions revealed the problem of combating unmanned aerial vehicles.

The problem of countering UAVs and, especially, small-sized UAVs in their mass application, is extremely complex, systemic and still not resolved.

The exist in anti-aircraft complexes have a significant technical draw back − called «zone of invisibility», which is in her complex in service. The presence of such an «invisibility zone» leads to the fact that drones located in this «zone» are not detected by the anti-aircraft complex’s reconnaissance radar station.
